What is the point in Regicide?

I had the most kills 5 games in a row, but lost three of them with 295 points. What is the point in punishing someone for winning?

The longer you are king the higher your bounty gets, so when its getting close to the end you need to make sure you stay alert and not get cornered/die to someone in last place.

Also try to get damage boost/overshields by living 1/2mins. Regicide is fun, its not FFA slayer but there is some tactics in winning,

Agreed Noble, it’s like a mix of FFA and Juggernaught! I don’t prefer it…but it is different and I’m growing to like it.

Kinda wish we still had FFA.

A gametype that doesn’t allow players with the most kills to win. I want Rumble Pit back!

I can understand how it’s frustrating but I kinda of like it. I think it has a bit more depth than a plain Jane FFA. I enjoy the king aspect, makes for some exciting closing moments.

Also, it looks as though “FFA Throwback” will probably be coming up soon in the playlists.

I like Regicide, but I want Rumble Pit back.

It’s a stupid gametype made by a stupid company that makes the stupidest challenges for the stupid gametype mentioned earlier.

It wouldd be easier if it were possible to win without being king the whole time. I keep killing people when I have 295 points, but the king always wins if it isn’t me.

Thats the point, you could try to avoid being king, but i always find that ill become king by accident even if i activaley avoid regicides…i mean your not going to turn down free kills.

I try and make life miserable for the people competing with me for the win, keep myself in the top 2, when a regicide could win the game for me.

Or if you like ego stroking, be the king and just have the "come at me " attitude, can be very rewarding getting damage boost and 3 shotting hordes of noobs.

I love regicide, but it should have been one gametype within a FFA playlist.

Regicide should not have its own playlist. I can stomach playing it on occasion, but having that as the only FFA playlist is an outright joke.

The gametype at all is irritating since most people just treat it like standard FFA slayer when it is not.

> I had the most kills 5 games in a row

Getting the most kills isn’t the aim of Regicide.

Then it means winning is more luck than skill.

Playing Regicide the correct way is a sure fire way to boost your death count. Have fun!

No, there is a method to winning Regicide, you’re supposed to choose wisely who you kill and when, not just mindlessly try and kill everyone at random like in slayer and normal FFA.
